Migration Issues from Zephyr 2.6.1 to 2.9.0: Configuration Problems and Deprecation Warnings

I am migrating from the 2.6.1 development environment to 2.9.0 but am unable to compile due to some configuration issues.

My prj.conf configuration file is as follows:

When I compile, I get the following warnings:

warning: BT_CTLR_RX_BUFFERS (defined at subsys/bluetooth\controller/Kconfig:225) was assigned the
value '2' but got the value ''. Check these unsatisfied dependencies: BT_LL_SW_SPLIT (=n). See
http://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/kconfig.html#CONFIG_BT_CTLR_RX_BUFFERS and/or look up
BT_CTLR_RX_BUFFERS in the menuconfig/guiconfig interface. The Application Development Primer,
Setting Configuration Values, and Kconfig - Tips and Best Practices sections of the manual might be
helpful too.

            --------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone help me understand the configuration changes? Specifically, what do the last two warnings mean?
